Follow-up:
even though the ACTION Protocol development was not completed, the process has had several positive outcomes for local activities:
- we have tested two new workshop formats at the IPU-conference and in the Baumhaus that both worked quite well, they have potential and will be documented as soon as we get round to it
- we now have a fairly comprehensive overview of ‘edible cities’ in Germany (ca. 130) and will soon also have a more detailed ethercalc on who does what and how they can be contacted
- we have created an extensive list of potential cooperation partners that we can extend and use in the future process
- we have established good contact with the Food Council Berlin and will have further discussion on how to integrate this work here into their process (e.g. maybe taking the format of the pad and ethercalc we created)
- we have made some interesting new contacts through the OSCE-platform
- we have made good contact to a big local public housing corporation in Berlin and will discuss with them on urban gradening/ urban farming and other food projects after Christmas
- we are considering to found a co-ordination and consulting business for housing corporations/ housing associations/ clinics and other private urban spaces that could be used for urban farming.
